This excellent blend was dedicated to Luigina, Alessia Alunni's mother.

This blend is composed of 8 varieties, all from small quality plantations. The countries of origin are Brazil, Kenya, Nepal, Peru, Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo. Also completed with robustas from India (India Kaapi Royale) and Cuba. Kaapi Royale is grown in western India, in the Baba Budan mountains in the Karnataka region. The high altitude and nutrient-rich soil produce robusta, high quality beans, ensuring a fantastic crema and a lovely, deep brown colour in the cup. Caffè Alunni sources its green beans directly from the coffee plantations.

The full-bodied Luigina forms a perfect combination with milk. Despite its pronounced taste profile, it gently cherishes the palate. A strong, intense coffee with long-lasting aftertaste. Discover aromas of roasted nuts, toast and pastries. These dark notes are balanced by fresh, bright nuances of stone fruit and flowers. In addition, this blend is virtually acid-free thanks to the long and complex roasting process.
